Kristopher Karvelas, MD

I became a physical therapist specializing in lymphedema after I had recognized the need for more therapists in this field, as well as finding my passion and enjoyment in working with this population. My goal is to create a healing environment for patients with cancer/lymphedema to be able to restore function and live a fulfilling life. My areas of special interest include lymphedema, cancer population, generalized debility, deconditioning/weakness and generalized balance/fall/gait training. When I am not at work, I enjoy playing pickleball, going for run/hikes, getting to travel and explore new places.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is an incredibly rewarding field and I am inspired every day by my patient's strength and sense of conviction to overcome their impairments and achieve their goals. I want to understand my patient's goals and motivations so together we can create an care plan that will help them achieve their goals. I enjoy explaining the treatment options to my patients so they can the best decision for their care. When I am not at work, I enjoy hiking, swimming and yoga.
